We stayed at Mytchett Canal Centre on Tuesday as the forecast was so bad- the winds we had were not bad as we did have some surrounding shelter luckily. A trip out was called for and as North Camp Station was only a 20 minute walk away - a train into Reading for a mooch round the shops was called for. Back early afternoon for a pump out (only £5) and then moved BB to the top of Deepcut flight ready for the descent this morning. Only us going down and two boats coming up-they had done the first group on Tuesday. Last day on the Basingstoke Canal tomorrow and then to continue our journey along The River Wey to Godalming- I have just read that Broadford Bridge south of Guildford is only 6ft 4inches- which we should be able to go under without taking anything off or down-providing the water levels are normal-all fingers are crossed. We are moored tonight at Hermitage Woods near Brookwood- same as on the way up.

 |
| The only problem is its on the flight path for Farnborough Airport which is very busy with business jets-which get ever bigger |
 |
| A new house being built as we approached top lock |
 |
| This is either an updated WW2 pill box, jacuzzi or a Thai restaurant -you can decide |
 |
| One of the locks is right under a road bridge-but at least its not that low |
 |
| The Deepcut flight is very rural despite hearing the trainees in the local barracks |
 |
| There are no walkways on the lock gates so they all have a bridge |
 |
| This float plane flew over perhaps looking for somewhere to land! |
